S&P 500, Nasdaq Extend Streaks Amid Yield and Fed Scrutiny
On November 8, U.S. stocks saw minimal changes as investors analyzed Federal Reserve officials' comments on interest rates and monitored Treasury yields. Despite a recent rally triggered by a significant drop in yields, uncertainties arose as central bank officials left room for potential rate hikes. The market anticipates a 50% chance of a rate cut by May. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 0.19%, the S&P 500 increased by 0.04%, and the Nasdaq Composite rose by 0.07%. The market showed a mix of new highs and lows, reflecting ongoing economic uncertainties. Fed Chair Jerome Powell refrained from commenting on monetary policy, maintaining market suspense ahead of his scheduled speech on Thursday. Read more

Bitcoin Price Increase
Bitcoin's market dynamics signal a potential value increase, with the one-month call-put skew demonstrating the strongest bullish sentiment in over two years. The demand for call options has surpassed puts, leading to a skew exceeding 10%, not seen since April 2021. The surge in bitcoin's price to nearly $37,000 is linked to optimism around SEC approval for a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The correlation between ETF developments and bitcoin's price highlights the market's sensitivity to regulatory progress. Despite concerns about high open interest levels, the prevailing sentiment is optimistic, anticipating continued price growth, possibly reaching $40,000 in the near future. Read more

“It can be very difficult to really know how to navigate both goals, but the best step you can take is just making sure that you're going into it eyes wide open. Make sure you know the benefits that you have on the table with your company.

INVESTOR TIPS
Discretionary vs. Non-Discretionary Order
If an investor places an order which has a specific limit price, or stop price, then they must inform their brokerage firm how long they want the order to remain on the books. A day order is good for today only and, if not executed, will be canceled at the close of the market. A good-til-canceled (GTC) order is one in which the investor wants the order to remain on the books until it is filled, or until they change their mind and cancel it.
